I think that you mixed up your links unless the Grateful Dead are now performing in Porta-Johns.

Gack! I fixed the link. My urls got crossed.

Just because he can...

Bad, bad! I like bad, bad.

I love drumming! Many years back, I bought a full Fibes set with a crappy Ludwig snare. I managed to cobble together a set of nice Z cymbals, but still no decent snare, until an older guy started to show up at my open-mic jams. I had settled on a little tight-sounding brass snare that he fell in love with, and he offered to trade me straight-up for a Fibes snare. That snare would cut through anything! What a drum! When I was selling off equipment, I sold my entire drum kit to a guy for less than what I could have gotten for that one snare drum on eBay. He was a divorced father of a young kid that really wanted to play drums, and that was good enough for me. Hope it worked out.

Any metal heads in here? What style of metal?

I love all styles of music but I haven't seen much metal which is what I have been in the mood for lately..

I'm not a real nut on country music, but this one grabs me every time.\

YouTube's opinion of what the best songs are:

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_10_youtube_videos_of_all_time.php

It's VERY impressive that a viral video (#5) managed to beat this many popular songs in the number of hits.

Hahaha great cover of Friday.

wow.. I did a search in this thread and found almost no results for Queen...

like really wow...

Freddie Mercury was possibly the best singer ever.. If you think you've not heard Queen before you're unaware that you actually know 30 or so songs of theirs but just don't realize it.

Don't stop me now
The show must go on
Bohemian Rhapsody
Radio Ga Ga
I want to break free
We are the champions
We will rock you
Fat bottomed girls
Bicycle
Another one bites the dust
Under pressure
I want it all
A kind of magic
You're my best friend
Somebody to love
Killer Queen
I'm going slightly mad
Princes of the universe
Who wants to live forever
Barcelona

to name a few...

I love Desert Rose by Sting. Cheb Mami is great.

Good old fashion rock & roll jam session, with Leon Russell & friends. That's Claudia Lennear, & Kathi McDonald singing backup. :!)

It won't embed, so...

 

[Andre]

wow.. I did a search in this thread and found almost no results for Queen...

.

Well I see 18 hits including yours. But Abba only 3, Enya a mere 10, Sarah Brightman and Luciano Pavarotti both only 4, Il Divo, 3 (all mine), Placido Domingo, Harry Bellafonte, zero hits, it's outrageous.

Of course many posts only contain a hot link to youtube, not mentioning the artist.

Okay then for the zeros:

Pavarotti:



Bellafonte



Domingo

And now for something completely different!

I thought that's Arabic for first few moments

I found the whole song quite strong!
(I like VEVO videos better: )

Carmina Burana <3

If I had to put my favorite "classical" work I would say Mahler V.

Anyone else?

Goodnight Phoebe.



I promise to sing your song this year.

 

[fuzzyfelt]

Ooo, Lisab, Gorillaz! I must have played this rather incessantly for a while once, it always takes us back to another place.

I like that version much better than the Fugee's cover in the 90's.

Here's my pick:
Heart: Crazy on you (the live version from 78)
